asterisk users - Mar 2009 - Need to find small footprint asterisk platform

Hey all,
I have a potential project which calls for a very small form-factor computer
like this:

http://www.marvell.com/products/embedded_processors/developer/kirkwood/sheevaplug.jsp

However, I am needing an FXS port integrated into a small footprint computer. 
Nothing larger than a WiFi router or gateway device, but the smaller the better,
and able to run Asterisk with at least a spare USB port and preferably WiFi on
the system (but no necessary).

Even a device that could integrate the S100U into the case would be good.

Anyone know of a device like this?

The AA40 is a bit much for my needs, and the cost is to high.

Thanks in advance.

what about http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ip04.html seems like what 
you might be after

good luck

Here in germany D-Link sells a device called the "Horst-Box 
Professional" wich is a ADSL modem/router with WiFi and an integrated 
embedded asterisk platform with 1xBRI in, 1xBRI out and 3xFXS if my mind 
serves me right. Size is about 180x250x50mm. Its been around for some 
years so maybe it is already EOL.

The Horst-Box Professional has a lot of problems in the ADSL area 
(like stopping transfers after a dozen or so megabytes for example), 
and I have had lots of needs to hard-reboot the box, after enabling 
VoIP functionality.

The D-Link support is useless (The answer the support request and 
without taking the answer into account close the ticket).

The boxes would have been perfect for the german market, however, the 
way it was implemented, they are totally useless. And yes, I have 
tried all available firmware versions, and always made sure to follow 
the instructions to the letter, with regards to configuration reset.

One of the more common embedded platforms for Asterisk is the Soekris 
net5501 (or 4501 if you don't need as much processing power)  The case 
would be the size of a larger router and has capacity for a single full 
height PCI device - such as a TDM400.  Astlinux has an image for the 
5501, so you can get away without a hard drive if you want to. (though 
Astlinux will happily use one as it's UnionFS partion)  This will also 
give you a USB port.

This is a pretty cool product: http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/store.html

The hardware design is Open Source too ;-)

I've been quite satisfied with one of these:
